Pyongyang, December 24 (KCNA) -- Pyongyang Railway Station is crowded with people as usual but they are not passengers.

After learning that leader Kim Jong Il passed away on train for pent-up mental and physical fatigue from his uninterrupted field guidance tour, they have come to the railway station to mourn his demise.

Kim Hyon Bok, a 51-year-old woman living in Yokjon-dong, Central District, told KCNA:

"Leader Kim Jong Il provided our people with good dwelling houses, but he ended his life on train in a cold winter day. I feel my heart rent for his demise.

Leader Kim Jong Il, please open your eyes. All the people wish you to come back. We will hold you in high esteem forever."
